Last week, [Cards Against Humanity] went one step further, announcing the creation of
its own super PAC, the type of political organizing committee enabled
by a 2010 Supreme Court decision to spend unlimited amounts of money on political speech. The company dubbed it “The Nuisance Committee,”
named after Cards Against Humanity co-creator Max Temkin’s grandfather
Ira Weinstein’s experience during WWII. While interned in a POW camp in
Germany, Weinstein formed with other prisoners the “Nuisance Committee,”
designed to irritate their captors. A press release announcing the
super PAC’s formation writes, “The comparison here between Trump and
Hitler is intentional.”
“If your opponent is going to be spending tons of money and using all of
these legal tools to outflank you, to say that we’re going to stand on
principle and we’re not going to spend any money, and we’re not going to
fight back, and we’re not going to advocate for our values using all
the tools that the system provides, then how much can you really care
about the cause? I feel so strongly about Trump that I will use whatever
tools are legally available to try to stop him. Unfortunately, where we
are in American democracy right now, that includes all these things
that nobody likes.”
Man though you know what makes me sorta sad is when nerdy, “quiet” kids latch on to me during camp and they just talk and talk and talk about a thing they’re into (Skyrim, Pokemon, Harry Potter, Doctor Who, dinosaurs, whatever). And I see the kids just light up when they say something and I can chime in with an ‘oh hey, are you talking about [x]? I love that thing! Tell me more about it.’
Like, their parents will warn me ‘so-and-so is pretty quiet and hard to engage’ but no, man, just listen, your kid is so smart and so into This Thing, they’ll engage like fuck and talk your damn ear off it you let them. Frame it in their damn terms. Or! Just! Listen to them about their Thing! And they will engage with the rest of the material! Because they know you care about them! Amazing!!!
Quiet kids are usually that way because either no one listens, or there is always someone more dominant speaking wise in their group that always talks over them and then they give up. Some quiet kids are starved for attention and really really want to talk, but don’t always get the chance to
icp aren’t fucking right wingers WHAT THE FUCK. they’re christians who hate rapists and racists, they have songs about killing both of them. DON’T BELIEVE THE MEDIA HYPE! WHOOP WHOOP MMFWCL #LGBTJUGGALOS
Well.
I guess with the anti-science positions I thought they were Republicans. But you never know sometimes…
in one interview they were getting lambasted for “miracles” and how it was so stupid that they didn’t get science and violent j just paused for a second and then gently said “dude… we’re clowns”
Why can’t we have these guys running for office instead of trump?
